Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal became the first pitcher to win back-to-back Cy Youngs since Jacob deGrom won NL honors in 2018 and 2019, and the first AL pitcher to do the deed since Pedro Martinez in 1999-2000. Only Greg Maddux and Randy Johnson have ever won three straight.
Paul Skenes won his first Cy Young a year after claiming NL Rookie of the Year. Only Dwight Gooden had ever done that before Skenes.
With our sights now set on 2026, both pitchers are currently drawing the shortest odds to win in their respective leagues. But a lot can happen when pitchers are as volatile as they are.
Garrett Crochet, Jacob deGrom, and Cole Ragans are all boasting odds better than +1000 in the American League, while Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Cristopher Sanchez are the only ones after Skenes to come in under that threshold.
Let's look at the latest MLB odds for the 2026 MLB Cy Young races.
